2. Refer to your top performing social media posts

Want to write a blog post that fuels engagement? Turn to your top performing social media posts for inspiration. If you use Facebook to promote your business, you can quickly identify your top performing posts by visiting Facebook Insights and clicking on the “posts” section on the lefthand side of the page. This tool will highlight your top performing posts by the level of follower engagement.

3. Ask your audience directly about topics they want you to address

Take the guesswork out of which topics you should cover in your business blog and ask your audience directly what they want you to discuss. Use social media to poll your audience about relevant issues that they want to have addressed. Take advantage of Survey Monkey to create a free survey of content ideas and include a link to it in your email newsletter and on your website. Communicate with your audience via a live webinar and ask them point blank about topics that matter to them.
